Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
Essentially the same as A206299, A184990 and A058573. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 11 2012

FORMULA
Expansion of (1/q) * (phi(-q) * psi(q^4)) / (phi(-q^3) * psi(q^12)) in powers of q where phi(), psi() are Ramanujan theta functions.
Expansion of eta(q)^2 * eta(q^6) * eta(q^8)^2 * eta(q^12) / (eta(q^2) * eta(q^3)^2 * eta(q^4) * eta(q^24)^2) in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 24 sequence [ -2, -1, 0, 0, -2, 0, -2, -2, 0, -1, -2, 0, -2, -1, 0, -2, -2, 0, -2, 0, 0, -1, -2, 0, ...].
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (24 t)) = 3 / f(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t).
a(n) = A058573(n) unless n = 0.
EXAMPLE
1/q - 2 + 2*q^2 - q^3 - 2*q^4 + 4*q^5 - 2*q^6 - 2*q^7 + 6*q^8 - 4*q^9 + ...
